Default Anyone had rear left side chirping noise?(+dealer scratching rear bumper)

I'm noticing this weird metal touching? or chirping noise? from my new CT.

Living in LA, I drive a lot of cracked dumpy local streets,
and whenever the car is going over the dumpy side,
I hear that weird noise from the rear left side.

The noise is only there whenever the car is shaken(going over bumps),
almost like small keychain dangling like sounds but more annoying.
When driving on smooth roads there's no sound.

It sounds like it's not related to braking or accelerating,
more like interior parts noise?

So I checked everything by removing or taping it down that I can visually see
from rear seat zipper pulls to spare tire that might make those noise.
Have checked all possible hooks and parts that were visible,
but cannot figure out where the noise is coming from!!!

Anyone has any idea where it might be coming from?
I'm going to the dealership next weekend to have it checked,
but I doubt they can do anything for it...

I'm not sure if we're hearing the same noise, but I have been hearing a squeaking noise in my CT for the past 2 weeks. I'm starting to think that the noise is coming from the rear suspensions. I only have 2,000 miles on my car and this is really bothering me as well!

I went to the service on Saturday to have them look at this rattle/squeak problem.
First they thought it was some interior noise, then later they called me and told me it was Shock that was making noise. They said they'll order the part and have it done by Tuesday.

Today, I got a call from them. The rattle noise problem is fixed.
But they noticed "minor scratch" on rear bumper, which was not there when I dropped my car off.
So they are sending it off to a body shop to get it fixed.
It's going to be another 2-3 days until have my car back.

My CT is literally brand new only had it for 2 weeks, less than 400 miles on it!!!
Don't even have the license plate yet!!! WTH!!!
Any advise from anyone who had this kind scratch problem from a dealer service?
I'm getting pissed by all this nonsense with a brand new car...!!!
